The President announced that he
had called the meeting, and made it
as widely known as possible, on his
own responsibility, because of n
notification of the BellTelephone Co.,
reducing telephone rates to a point
below what the Mutual could stand,
and stated that he had prepared a
number of propositions which he
wished to submit to their consider
alton. 1t was for the meeting to
decide whether they should be
adopted in whole or in part.
While printed copies of the pro-
positions were being passed around,
the President, in reply to question,
stated that the condition of the
company is fourishing, there being
now 60 to 20 orders IN for new in
struments, which cannot be immedi-
ately filed.
The propositions referred to, in
tended as additions TO the COM
pany's bylaws, were taken up, one
at time, discussed, slightly
amended, and adopted almost I'M
animously. 1t was explained that
there was no desire nor intention to
increase the charge for telephones,
but to establish a mdIinlnm price,
above which it should not be raised
on any account, for period Of
three years-not to reach the maxi
mum, but to debar the possibility
of exceeding it. Following are the
propositions, as amended and
adopted:--
GA Reserve Fund of five thou
sand dollars is hereby authorized
and established under the control
and management of the Board OF
Directors.
"The maximum charge for tele-
phone instruments in Honolulu shall
be 81 per month for mercantile and
other offices, and S3 per month fol
private houses. This rate is hereby
established for the term of three

after that time unless it be by 9
vote of three-fourths of all the
stockholders. The Board of Direc'
tors shall have the right and autho
rity at any time to decrease this
rate.
SAT the division of the net in
come of the company twelve PEI
cent per annum shall be paid t.
stockholders on the amount OF thel
stock and then dividends shall b'
declared by the Board of Director
to Instruments of the company II

CHICAGO, Ill, June 2S.-The Patri-
otic Order OF the Sons OF America

ciples oil the order were read and adopt
ed, as follows;
"For the welfare, prosperity and
liberty Of all American ciliHsns and
their descendants, we desire to protect
our form OF government, and to pre-.
serve 1t from the influence aud control
OF any foreign power. BY discrimi'
Mating sentiment OF loyalty, and es-
tsblishing q fraternal feeling among all
Americans, we hope to make IL impos'
sible for anyone to live under the
protection OF the stars and stripes who
does not honor and revere them.
1--WE are opposed to the occupancy
OF any part Of our country by foreign
spectators OF sdventureIs who do not
wish to become citizens, aud We be.
lieve that all of the resources and
privileges Of the country should be re-
served for the exclusive use oil native
born or nRtuTaliEsd citizens. We are
in favor OF crushing out that ioreigr
element which comes here to advocate
communism and nihilism, ard which
does not identity itself with our eoun
try and does not respect our dag.
After this the following officers TO
the ensuing year were elected: Ma

TRIO LIGHT CARTOONS
Who Have Had q Good Thing, Bat
Ruined IL by Doubling
the Price.

Nav YoRk, June 23.-The Times
this morning says: A meeting was
held In this city Yesterday afternoon
which Is OF direct importance to all
electric light interests. The causes
which led to 1t have been developing
Tor many months. The electric light
industry, 90 Tar ss arc lights are con.
cerned, depends directly upon car
bons." The consumption OF these car
bous by the various companies Is az
present In the neighborhood OF 60
000, 900 per rear. The market has been
supplied by two firms In Pittsourg,
tafee or four In Cleveland and two in
ST. Louis. These companies, two months
ago, formed a combination, and the
combination took charge Of all the
factories. The price Of carbons was
suddenly and without warning raised
from $40 TO $l2 per 1000, to SO and
S25. 1t was known that only one raw
material was good for much in making
electric light carbons. This is the coke
from petroleum and ma phtha manuisc-
turing. Consequently the petroleum
| coke product was seen TO be the key
10 the eitualion. The electric light
men got together and talked the mat
ter over. The proposition was to take
the entire petroleum coke product OF
the Standard Oh Company and manu-
iacture carbons for themselves. Every
BODY was found TO be In favor OF the
movement. One company subscribed
for 100000 cSrbons per month
Others subscribed for from 200,0 tc
500, eco. The subscriptions were oil
upon the basis of the old rates, thi
cost OF the larger sizs not to exceed
2l5 and the smaller in proportion
Then a committee was appointed t
confer with the Standard Oil Com
pany, and the conference was heC
Yesterday. The company's figure To-
It's entire coke product, 20 900 tons pc

NEW YoRK, June 23.--Moses J..
Speight, aged fifteen years, an inmate
OF the House OF Refuge on Randall's
Island, last night at 8 o'clock struck
his keeper, William Edgar Cole, with
q heavy stick, from the effects OF which
Cole died at the Harlem pospital this
morning. The blow was dealt to enable
Speight to gain possession of the keys
and make his escape, with other boys
comprising a gang leagued together
for that purpose. When the youthful
conspirators discovered that the keep
or was seriously injured, their courage
deserted them, and they forgot their
attempt to escape and began to cry for
aid. They were soon locked up in
cells, where they quickly confessed
their plans.
